Haos

"Haos" is a weak ripoff of Asteroids/SpaceWar!, trying to ape the success of "indie" garbage like Geometry Wars without considering Geometry Wars already exists (and, unsurprisingly, this inferior rip-off failed incredibly hard on Steam Direct). What do you do in the game? Very poorly done top down arcade Asteroids-like shooting. This comes across as something unambitious and "simple" in terms of implementation and technical quality and depth, more like a game dev tutorial or an experiment. It’s a classic case of a developer prioritizing the low effort needed to get a game listed on Steam over the actual delivery of a technically sound or compelling product. Whatever is needed to hammer out something "good" enough for Steam Direct self-publishing. The graphics here are particularly awful, hideously lazy, ugly looking minimalist "neon" crap, so bad that it actually stands out as one of the worst looking games on Steam. Quite an accomplishment. It's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so on. Instead, they decided that "Procgen IS content!" and lazily tried to use procgen algorithms to create infinite, samey, repetitive, soulless levels, because that's a lot less work. As a result of this poor decision, the game gets tired and repetitive almost immediately. Developers must learn that procgen is a terrible substitute for creating real content. It should not be used as "ez-mode" for content creation, as the developer tried to do here. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging $5 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It seems like a nice gesture for the game to have no up-front cost anymore, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. This is also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who showed enough questionable judgement to pay money for this... nobody got refunded. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 2 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? I think you should give this one a miss. Although it's free, your time and storage are valuable resources, and the market is filled with superior options.

Very awesome game i recommend playing or at least try it if you like roguelike games!!!

Originally a $4.99 game that went Free. A pretty boring and hollow experience. The procedural generation creates levels with different wall layouts, which only seems to add the need to run around until you find all the enemies. Upgrading is broken? Or at least wouldn't let me upgrade by the 5th level even though I had the points.

Игра 'Haos' – это динамичный и захватывающий экшн, который с первых минут погружает в хаотичный мир, полный опасностей и адреналина. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в мрачных тонах, отлично передает атмосферу безысходности и постоянной борьбы за выживание. Геймплей невероятно динамичен, каждое столкновение с врагами требует молниеносной реакции и стратегического мышления. Разнообразие оружия и способностей позволяет экспериментировать с различными стилями боя, подстраиваясь под ситуацию и личные предпочтения. Сюжет, хоть и не является самой сильной стороной игры, всё же выполняет свою функцию, мотивируя двигаться вперед и исследовать этот безумный мир. Однако, именно бесконечный экшен и возможность совершенствовать своего персонажа делают 'Haos' по-настоящему увлекательной. Несмотря на некоторую однообразность локаций, игра компенсирует это бешеным темпом и постоянным ощущением угрозы. 'Haos' – отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет хардкорный экшн, не прощающий ошибок и требующий полной концентрации. Игра вызывает привыкание, заставляя возвращаться снова и снова, чтобы улучшить свои навыки и продвинуться дальше по уровням.

Good Game
